Ponies stopped believing in Santa Hooves after they did the math: flying around the whole world delivering presents in a single night is impossible.

But Petunia Paleo's cutie mark isn't for math; it's for digging up old things, like the legend of Santa Hooves. Inspired by what she sees, she does something nopony has in ages: she writes him a letter.

With Petunia's belief granting him a new lease on life, Santa sees a chance to become part of the holidays again. There's just one great big huge problem with what Petunia asked for...

When Fancypants had refused that invite to yet another garden party, everypony that knew him assumed he was just busy with simple Canterlot pony things.

Apparently, the pony everypony knew wasn't known well enough.

The thrill of adventure pounding in his heart (like a certain DARING pony we all know), Fancypants feels that exploring the Everfree Forest will be simple fun.

There were two things he didn't expect while adventuring through the forest:

1) A mysterious figure with turquoise eyes.

2) A beautiful yet fateful plant.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: The cover picture was done by me. It had been made and posted in
my Deviantart account, cartuneslover16. I had made the picture
LONG before I made this story, but it had been finished around
the time my first story, Discordant Feelings, was still continuing
because I felt people who adored Fancypants would wonder how
exactly he and Zecora had met as hinted in my other story. :)

This story is a sequel to Generational Divide

(Takes place during Chapter Fifteen of Generational Divide)

The battle against Opaline has been won, and the two groups of friendship-defending ponies are squeezing in the last few minutes of time they can spend together. Misty in particular has questions regarding her new Cutie Mark, so Applejack sends her to some experts.

Over 5 centuries ago, halfway through Celestia's millennium long reign, a rebellious political faction attempts to take over Equestria and start a new pony republic. Celestia is accused of crimes against ponykind and put on trial in an effort to remove her from power. Celestia must defend herself, and her actions, against the conspirators who aim to take over her kingdom. The fate of friendship and the future of Equestria hangs in the balance.

Told through the perspective of Princess Twilight reading the story to Luster Dawn.

There's always been traffic crossing the river at the base of the mountain, and that means Canterlot's had a bridge there for centuries. But bridges wear out, while new styles come into play. Commissioning a new span out of the national budget, replacing the worn-out turntable with an arch... that's simple enough. After that, the sensible thing is to just step back and let the architect do their job.

Yeah, right. The sensible thing is clearly for everypony to start telling him exactly how things should be done! Because what does an architect know about bridges, anyway?

It isn't as if 'not having them collapse' was the important part.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

Life is crazy. Never mind the whirlwind that was winding up in Equestria in the first place; being married to an alicorn ex-princess doesn't exactly lend itself well to a quiet lifestyle. As such, your little hobby of building and painting Warhammer 40,000 models offers you some nice, calm respite.

Now, Celestia, who has been feeling self-conscious about not being able to relate to you, wants you to teach her about the hobby. You're more than willing to do so, and you're a very patient man.

Unfortunately, she isn't a very patient mare.

This story is a sequel to Fit For Command

As the newest member of the School of Friendship’s faculty, Fizzlepop is eager to make her mark by instilling a degree of discipline and fitness into the student body. But memories and reputations are often hard to shake, and she finds that not everyone is entirely comfortable with a former military commander at the head of a children’s class.

Fizzlepop once again finds herself on a battlefield. Only this time, instead of enemy combatants and supply lines, she must navigate out faculty lounges, parent-teacher meetings, and seeing to it that the tutoring of a less-than-cooperative hedgehog does not derail her attempts to control her troublesome temper.
